Events

April 4th 2- 4:30pm at Mod Pod

What is the best way to kick off Spring and Easter? Cuddling with a bunny of course! Mod Pod and Heartland Humane Society are partnering up for some fun! A staff member from Heartland will be at Mod Pod to answer questions on rabbit adoption and what it takes to be a good rabbit owner. We will have several rabbits on site so you can have your picture taken with one! We will also have treats and goodies. This is our big fundraiser for the month and when you purchase items on the day of the event a portion of sales will go to Heartland.

Don’t forget to bring your Easter basket in and we will fill it with grass, plus I bet you can find lots of great stuff to fill it with!

Heidi and I are active rabbit rescuers and you will get to meet two of our sweet house bunnies. It will be fun I promise! Hope that you can make it! Jessica

We took a break from hosting for a few years, but this Saturday we are excited to have Coelho Winery at Mod Pod for Rhapsody in the Vineyard. If you haven’t participated before DO IT! If you have, DO IT AGAIN. The downtown Corvallis wine walk is one of the most popular events in downtown and it is great way to get to know what downtown has to offer. Buy your wrist band and tickets at one of the participating sellers. You will be given a wine glass and off you go! It is a great way to sample Oregon wines and do a bit of shopping and grazing on munchies.

When: Saturday, September 13, 3:30-7 pm

Heidi and I just got back from our yearly trip to the Vegas World Market. It is our chance to see upcoming trends, find new vendors and see products in person. Its four full days days of 3 buildings, 16 floors each and 7 miles of walking per day. It’s grueling, but so exciting! Besides placing orders we are constantly looking at displays, taking pictures and sketching ideas for merchandising. It’s a wonderful way to get fresh ideas for the store so we can keep it interesting for you.

This year we found some really exciting new things! Take a sneak peak at some new items for fall.

What is your favorite thing about Mother’s Day? Is it that you don’t have to cook? Do dishes? You get to spend time with your family? I usually help my mom with home projects and take a trip to the garden store. It’s is about the experience of just enjoying family. I am not saying mom doesn’t expect a little gift or two though, but don’t make the panic of Mother’s Day stressful!

I know are you are looking for something unique, special and within your budget. How about some yummy dark chocolate toffee from Moonstruck for $7.99? You know mom has a mad addiction to scarves and all our scarves are hand picked by me, so I know that they are awesome and all under $24. What about a little inspiration of our Live, Laugh, Love coffee mug filled with her favorite coffee from Oregon Tea and Coffee? See it is going to be fun to find something for mom this year! We have lots of ideas, just ask. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

Graduation is upon us and we are so excited for all the new graduates throughout Corvallis, a BIG congratulations!

Now we have experience outfitting parents and friends with gifts for grads. We know it can be tricky finding something useful, but fun. The good thing is that is what we are all about! Here are a couple great ideas we have in the store.

Pair a Zak plate + bowl + cup = dorm perfect gift under $20

Dry-erase memo/magnetic board = organized grad!

Ban.do power trip, charging kit for iphone 4/4S and 5/5SS = they can always be charged wherever they go.

Great gifts right? It almost makes you want to graduate again… almost…

Probably my favorite weekend of the year is Mom’s Weekend at OSU. It is so fun seeing the moms having an awesome time shopping with their daughters. Now we do get a few very good sons patiently shopping with mom as well and they deserve a blue ribbon!

I remember being a student at OSU and having my mom visit. We always spent time downtown for good grub and retail therapy. This is one reason my mom and I started Mod Pod. We loved finding unique things together. And why not share that passion in our favorite town Corvallis? We are coming on 5 years now and appreciate all the moms and daughters who have supported us! We hope you enjoy your Moms Weekend. As a little something special for everyone, we are offering 20% off everything Saturday and Sunday. So come downtown and have a GREAT experience.
